Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses magnetic fields to stimulate the nerve cells in the brain involved in mood regulation. It is one of the treatment options available through the psychiatry services at Allied Healthcare Physicians.

When It Is Typically Used

• Treatment-Resistant Depression — TMS is often considered when medication alone has not brought relief.
• Medication Alternative — It is non-invasive and does not require sedation.
• Coordinated Mental Health Care — TMS is used alongside psychotherapy and medication management.

Working Alongside Other On-Site Services

The practice's psychiatry division coordinates TMS with talk therapy, medication management, and substance-use treatment as needed.

What to Expect

Your psychiatric provider will review whether TMS is appropriate for you, what a course of treatment involves, and how progress is tracked.
